@ azuretwilight: This is nothing new in 2.3, but has always been the case. You must accept the quest "Rig Wars" from Nogg (and agree to help the goblins, i.e. lore reasons) before "Chief Engineer Scooty" becomes available from Sovik.

For those of you who don't know, Chief Engineer Scooty is the beginning of a short chain (you talk to a few guys in BB) for the Horde side, which results in an instant teleport to the Gnomeregan instance, located in Dun Morogh (and thus normally hard to get to from Horde side... it frustrates me when I constantly find people who don't know about this quest... it wastes a lot of time when they're doing it).

Also, note that you are not transported directly into the instance, but about halfway through the area before the instance. You can return to BB through the teleporter you come out of, but you must have the quest item in your inventory.

EDIT: Unsure if this is what you're talking about, but on my 62 pally (2/1/08), when I tried to accept the Transponder quest after accepting Rig Wars, I couldn't see it.

The GM escalated my ticket to a Character Specialist, said it will take 3-5 days for him to respond. Currently waiting for the response.

I want my engineering schematic. They need to fix this. Such a stupid bug.

The goblin is in fact in ogrimaar, however that doesn't necessarily mean that he's "horde". Goblins are a neutral faction between alliance and horde, he may be accessable by alliance-- it's just annoying.
